hope to dip in to LJ this week...

I've been much more absent from LJ these past few days than I ever have been before (or so it feels like), in large part because I'm trying to cram the work I won't be able to do in August in now, and in part because there've been various (pleasant) family obligations.

But oh, LJ, I've had so much I've wanted to tell you. As it is, I hope at least to visit some of your journals in the slips of time I have, and then, eventually, to update my own. Meanwhile, look, I MADE BEAN SPROUTS! Almost too...
